...And it was in Downtown Seattle, during a rainstorm. I swear, parallel parking in the U district with some moron in a prius honking at you is the most annoying thing ever. I wound up hitting the curb with the front left wheel, and I just completely blew a hole in the tire in FOUR places, since the curb was sharp from previous damage. The rim is also pretty scratched up. Also, since this was my mom's car, I'm grounded from driving for a week
